The roots of Blitzkrieg: Hans Von Seeckt and German military reform/ James S Corum - Lawrence, Kan: University Press of Kansas, 1992 - 274p.

It provides some insights into the question of military reform in the interwar era. Every major military power had to face the issues of the new weaponary and tactics created during World War I. Many British, American and French officers offered a variety of operational analyses and worked to develop the new technologies. The German army was not unique in attempting to deal with the new conditions of warfare. It is intended as a military intellectual history of the reichswehr's role in politics, its sociology, its relationship to industry or its foreign policy role.
